About Us

General Information:

The publisher of PoliticalFamilyTree.com is CLP Research. Our business is providing value-added research for access by fee, download, and purchase over the Internet. Our research products range from the political family trees on this site to reports on businesses and industries.

Included with Subscription and currently available on PoliticalFamilyTree.com are thousands of family trees in PDF format of the most prominent American political leaders (a category which includes U.S. Presidents, U.S. Vice Presidents, Signers of the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and U.S. Constitution, Colonial and State Governors, U.S. Senators, Speakers of the House of Representatives, Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, major U.S. Cabinet Officials, and other national leaders of note. As of March 2009, our collection covered 99% of such persons who held office between 1607 and 1950 as well as all Presidents and Vice Presidents and many hundreds others in the 20th and 21st centuries. Some states--Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, & Indiana--are virtually complete to present time and several others woon will be.

Every two weeks, we add new family trees and update others. By autumn 2009, we will assemble a full collection of the family trees of the most prominent American politicians who held office up to present time. Thereafter we will concentrate on lesser leaders of political, economic, social, and military importance not otherwise included in existing family trees, including U.S. Congressmen, lesser U.S. Cabinet officials, and mayors of major American cities.

Our political family trees are easy to read, cross-referenced, and enjoyable to use. We have added hyperlinks for jumping quickly between genealogies on the site and as well to dozens of chronological biographies of key leaders. Both the family trees and biographies can be printed out using Adobe Acrobat or other software that reads PDF files. Our family trees are copyright protected and cannot be reproduced for other than individual use without express written consent of CLP Research.

Other Content:
We also have Issues and Events essays with hyperlinks to the family trees and biographies, Maps with explanatory text, Audio-Visual Presentations on a variety of topics, and surname lists to help users discover if they are related to someone famous.
